Some friends and I rented this movie just for the kicks of making fun of it, but it turned out to be fairly good. Except for the cheesy 70's parts (check out Bucks dance act) which no live human could ever take seriously, this is an excellent movie, which I'll check out again in the near future.

8/10

The siege has what it takes to become a great film. First of all, the plot is excellent, taking up a new angle of the well-known terrorist movies. The movie brilliantly focuses on the inability of modern military to fight terrorism, and displays how vulnerable we are to terrorists.

Unfortunately, this excellent plot is lost in the usual Hollywood US/patriotism dump, where so many potentially good movies have ended their days. In addition to this, the acting was fairly weak. Better acting - and better drawn characters - would have been an immense improvement to this mediocre movie.

My rating: 6/10

I can't remember the last time I have laughed as much as when I saw this movie. Unfortunately, the same movie had an incredible ability to bore me at times. Had Parker and Stone chosen to make this movie a single episode, it would probably have been one of the greatest moments in the history of TV comedy. unfortunately, they chose the boost the story-line with a massive amount gags. First and foremost, the attempt to make satirize the songs of Disney movies merely help annoy the viewer who is left in the dark, waiting for another hilarious one-liner.
